[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4560522, member: 10461"]The old "quantity versus quality" conundrum (you know what I mean) is a difficult set of scales to balance. Yes, focus. It's hard. I finally had to go "freestyle". I myself gave up on the "Box of 20" limitation in 2016. It is too difficult to stick to in the long term. I was at a "Box of fifty-something" as of the last collection update I posted, and in the next it will surely be a "Box of seventy-something." Since the topic is "dream coins", I will mention that for the last year, I've set a budget cap on my purchases. ($500 in my case.) That has worked OK, and still allows for some nice stuff, but it certainly takes a lot of the dream coins off the table. And I'm not sure I'll be able to stick to it. Why the limitation? Why [I]can't[/I] I buy a four-figure coin someday, if I save up? This is my present dilemma. I'm always making rules and then breaking them. But it's all part of the growing process.[/QUOTE]
